Dreamwars: A Star Wars fandom chat community

Hi!

this week I'm again fishing through the timeline of canon media, and I bring you Grogu, Cutest in the Galaxy, which is... a series of animations published on Instagram??

Huh. I see the grand tradition of Star Wars being Everywhere(TM) is going strong.

Has anyone of you seen this? Do you follow any official SW social media? Do you follow any official SW sources in general? Or maybe, how do you come upon SW news, like new media being announced (or cancelled), actors being cast, and so on?

Hi!

the topic for this week is "hot".

Which planet is hotter, Jakku or Tatooine?

Which culture has the hottest cuisine? (And why does everyone think it's the Mandos?!)

(Actually, I need you to tell me who's the hottest Star Wars character. 👀)

Hi!

This week's topic is the last movie of the Sequel trilogy, Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

As usual: do you have any thoughts or feels about this movie? Old, new, recurring...

It's been a while since the movie came out in 2019. If you think about it... do you miss something? Either directly from the movie (a protagonist you love, a side character you wish we got more of), something related to it (going to see a SW movie in the cinema, perhaps?), or something only vaguely related?

Hi!

it's Legends week, and I bring you another random bit out of the vault: Rebel Mission to Ord Mantell, an audio drama set between Episodes IV and V, released in 1983 "on both record album and cassette tape", which just makes me giggle. Star Wars on vinyl?!

I don't suppose any of you have encountered this one, but if so, please share! Otherwise, feel free to go on any tangent you like - from vinyl to events of 1983 (the eponymous video game crash perhaps?).

Hi!

Since since nine of the planned twelve episodes have aired, maybe you'd like to talk about the second season of Andor?

Are you watching? What do you think of it so far?

Have you rewatched the first season and if yes, what was that like - discovered something you've forgotten, changed your mind about something,...?

Hi!

This week, the topic is "jokes and humor", any way you'd like to interpret it.

What's your favorite joke or funny scene in SW? Which movie (or other piece of media) you consider funniest?

Does SW fit your sense of humor - and if not, what would you like to see?

Bring your memes! Do you have a favorite? (something something high ground...)

Hi!

Topic for this week: *Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi, aka the middle movie of the Sequel trilogy.

Any special feelings about this one, this time around? Would you watch this movie if...

• you were bored and it came up on the TV? (Pretend that you still own a TV that receives broadcast programming.)
• a friend/partner/child wanted to see it?
• they were doing a screening in the local cinema?
  • and you got free tickets?
• you had free time and wanted to treat yourself?
• someone held a gun to your head? :D

Hi!

The topic this week is the "HoloNet News podcast", which was created in 2008 to tie in with the 3D animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

I haven't given it much time, but this might actually be lost to time already: both the original site and the iTunes feed mentioned on Wookieepedia are gone.

I suspect nobody here has listened to it, but...maybe? Or, would you be interested?

Since this is such a niche topic, feel free to talk about anything related to Star Wars and podcasts. Do you listen to some? Do you have recommendations?

Hi!

This week, the topic is "Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear", a novel by Alexander Freed that focuses on the first year of the Empire as experienced by Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera.

This is a very fresh book: it was released this February. Have any of you read it, or plan to?

Alexander Freed is an established Star Wars writer with several well-received SW novels to his name - would that recommend or detract from this book for you?

Hi!

this is supposed to be a "general topic" week, so lets go really general: "red".

What's your first thought when you think "Star Wars" and "red"? Do you have a favorite red costume, or location? If you had to pick the "most red" character, who would it be, and why?

(Or, if you want to go extra spicy: Star Wars and communism?)
